1 ART 2501: Painting Investigation of Color Summer B Instructor: Lydia Dildilian Credit Hours: 3 Meeting Times/Location: M-W 9:30 to 12:15 and T-H 9:30 to 1:45 FAD 105 Office hours/location: M-T after class/fad 105 Instructor dildillk@ufl.com Instructor Phone: Class/Building Codes: FAD * FAD 2nd Floor Stairwell (for after hours access) * FAD 1st Floor Main Doors by Elevator-- Gator One Card Swipe Course Description: This course investigates the visual language of painting and introduces the fine arts major to techniques and concepts relevant to painting including a comprehensive study of lights, darks and color. This course focuses on building foundation skill in principles of art and design. Course Objectives: The main objective of this course is for students to become familiar with handling paint to create dynamic value structures and compositions. You will employ a variety of techniques to expand upon your visual language. Critique sessions will continue to develop your abilities to talk about your work and ideas. You will also be expected to apply critical insight to the work of your colleagues. Topics: Form and Light Figure Ground: figure/ground reversal, figure/ground tension, figure/ground pulse, convex/concave edges Notan: Black and white shape relationships. Shape interaction: Positive and Negative Color Theory and Applied Color: Mutual intensification: Principles of interaction in value, chroma, and hue (temperature and compliments). Composition: The Gestalt Principles: Applying principles of the united whole, using value, color, form, shape, as a tool of balance. Color/space Color Usage (optical, psychological, local color)

2 Color Mixing (additive, subtractive) Visual Organization (elements and principles of design) Harmony, Variety, Balance, Proportion, Dominance, Movement, Economy Required Text Course reading posted on Canvas Hawthorne on Color and as assigned by instructor Topical Course Outline (Tentative) Week 1 use of colorism in the effect of darks & lights Notan and Figure Ground. Notan is a Japanese convention that has had a great influence on modern painting in the western world. The notan system balances light and dark shapes into interactive wholes that seem both fixed and dynamic at the same time. Figure-Ground: Studies in black & white cut paper will introduce the idea of the expanded square. The best of these studies will be selected as a model for a painting which demonstrates an understanding of the notan elements. Criteria are: use of figure-ground interchange use of shape interaction use of paint & touch use of colorism in the effect of darks & lights Week 2 Topic Chiaroscuro, Form, and Light Forms & Light: Still-life studies, composition studies, and ultimately a fully developed painting which demonstrates an understanding of the chiaroscuro elements. Palette preparation for acrylic painting Criteria are: the logic of light & shadows use of the six (6) chiaroscuro elements use of paint & touch Week 3

3 SEEING SPOTS Palette preparation for color oil painting, color wheel, reproducing color charts a series of still-life paintings in oil, using Charles Hawthorne's painting method of seeing and painting in color. [Hawthorne on Painting Dover] (drawing studies and four paintings on stretched canvas, min. 80 sq. in. each) Criteria are: use of skills in seeing color and coordinating them with your theoretic knowledge about color use of color to create a convincing sense of space use of convincing sense of light, both in the sense of illumination as well as the luminosity of color use of color shapes and movement Week 4 CHROMATIC ZONES Painting in modern techniques with emphasis on colorfields and interactive relations of shapes and space. (drawing and gouache studies and one large painting in oil sq. in.) Week 5-6 ONE SELF DESIGNED PAINTING PROJECTS Students will draft a contract for the professor proposing three separate painting projects. These projects must reflect elements learned during the first half of the semester, however, students are encouraged to create more personal and imaginative work. The one projects could be a series of small works. The project topic will be one the topic: The Current State of Painting. There will be readings assigned to go along with this project. Evaluation 90% 5 Projects including exercises 10% Participation - Participation in class workdays, discussions, and critiques is expected and will reflect in your participation grade. Final cleanup will also factor into this grade. Class Attendance Policy Attendance is required. Three unexcused absences are allowed. More than 3 absences will result in a loss in the student's final grade by one. Six absences will result in a failing grade. Excessive tardiness will also affect your grade. Roll will be taken at the beginning of class. Being late three times will equal one absence. Lateness of more than 30 minutes or early departure is considered an absence. Announced changes to the course calendar etc. demand your presence in class. Attending class unprepared for a discussion, critique, or workday will be considered an absence.

Follow the SWMA guidelines posted. Do not prop classroom doors. Doors are to remain closed to ensure the building HVAC and ventilation systems work properly. FAD 105 and 107 are solvent free rooms. There is no ventilation in these rooms. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available in each SA+AH work area. Keep solvent fumes to a minimum by covering containers in use. Clean up after yourself. No hazardous materials down sinks. Store all flammables in the flammable cabinet, Keep flammable cabinet closed at all times. All hazardous material (many art supplies) containers must be marked with your name, contents and date opened by using the white labels provided at the SWMA area at the MSDS boxes.

8 All Hazardous Waste must be labeled with the yellow labels found at the SWMA (use this label when item is designated as trash). Any unmarked containers will be disposed of without notice. Practice best practices for material handling. If you have questions about a material, ask your instructor for guidance. If you bring an item into the classroom, be sure you have the MSDS form filed for the material used. No aerosol cans may be sprayed in any classroom/studio in the SAAH. A spray booth is located in FAC room 211A. Wear nitrile gloves when handling hazardous materials. These are provided in your classroom studios. Remove all trash that does not fit in trashcans to the dumpster on the south side of FAC. Any trash that does not fit in the trash can must be immediately taken to the dumpster. All oversized trash (has any length that exceeds 4 feet in any direction) must be taken to the dumpster on the south side FAC and placed beside the dumpster in the area designated for oversized trash.
